Attending a wedding soon?

These simple wedding gift dos and don’ts will help you pick a gift they will truly appreciate.

✅ DOs:

1. Be thoughtful and personal
   Go beyond the price tag. Add meaning. A handwritten note, a shared memory, or a custom detail can turn an ordinary gift into something unforgettable.
   
   
2. Stick to the couple’s style
   Whether minimalist or sentimental, your gift should reflect them, not what you wish they liked.
   
   
3. Ask (Quietly) if you’re unsure
   A quick check with a family member or close friend can help you avoid duplicates or awkward guesses.
   
   
4. Check the registry if applicable
   The couple has curated a list of items they need or want, making it a great starting point.
   
   
5. Include a heartfelt card
   A personalized message expressing your best wishes adds a special touch.
   
   
6. Support the wedding day
   Your gift can help make the wedding day dream come true, like covering flowers, photos, or the cake cost.
   
   
7. Support their next chapter
   Contribute to the honeymoon, new home, or other meaningful milestone. Practical support is a thoughtful gift.
   
   
8. Support their long-term relationship
   Choose a gift that helps them build a life together, whether it’s something they’ll use daily, grow into over time, or cherish for years to come. Think tools for their home, date night experiences, or personalized keepsakes.
   
   
9. Send the gift before or after the wedding
   Check if the couple has preferences first, but in general, avoid bringing bulky gifts to the ceremony. Sending it ahead or afterward keeps things stress-free and thoughtful.
   
   
10. Stay within your budget
    Don’t feel pressured to spend more than you can afford. A meaningful gift doesn’t have to be expensive. It is the thought and intention behind it that count.

❌ DON’Ts:

1. Don’t Go Off-Registry Just to Be Unique
   If your gift doesn’t serve a purpose or match their taste, it might end up in the return pile.
   
   
2. Don’t Give Something That Creates Work
   Anything high-maintenance (live pets, DIY projects, or subscriptions with fees) can feel like a chore, not a gift.
   
   
3. Don’t Overcomplicate It
   A simple, heartfelt gift beats a flashy one with no connection or meaning.
   
   
4. Don’t Rule Out a Cash Gift
   Cash is often deeply appreciated, especially for big goals like a home or honeymoon.
   
   
5. Don’t Forget the Card
   It may seem small, but your words often mean more than the gift. Never skip the chance to say something memorable.
   
   
6. Don’t Offer Gifts that are likely to be used by only one person in the couple
   Choose something both partners can enjoy, not just one. Gifts that feel personal to only one person can miss the mark.
   
   
7. Don’t assume the couple will appreciate a gag gift
   Humor has its place, but what’s funny to you might feel awkward or even offensive to one (or both) of them.
   
   
8. Don’t Re-Gift Without Thought
   If you’re re-gifting, make sure it’s meaningful, unused, and appropriate.
   
9. Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute
   Planning early gives you time to choose something meaningful, avoid shipping delays, and show you put care into it.
   
   
10. Don’t Forget to Label Your Gift
    Whether you are sending it before the wedding or bringing it to a shower, always include a tag or card with your full name. Without it, the couple may not know who to thank.
